Great Racers Who Never went big league

So at some random point in the day while talking to some good people, I decided it was time for me to post up some of my favorite drivers who never made a real run at nascar. With all the talk lately about Kyle Busch wanting 200 wins and Richard Petty already having 200 wins, I've decided to make a list of guys whose win numbers equal or far exceed that total. Although not done in the leagues of nascar some of these numbers are astounding to think about. Here we go, by the way if you think of anyone (please read above before sending requests for Steve Kinser, I know hes great but this is for guys who never really tried it in Nascar.) Feel free to send me any info pertinent as to why they should be on the list and i will rank them accordingly. Accordingly meaning i will put them in the list where they belong after doing the proper research to verify the numbers.
